Positive Grid Spark Control X

Ik gebruik deze footswitch met de Spark2. Het is een erg nette oplossing voor de woonkamer gebruiker. Geen bekabeling en toch alle primaire functies met je voet bedienen. Er zijn meerdere profielen te gebruiken, switchen tussen presets 1tm4 en bank A-B of juist als stompbox met een switch voor elk effect. Je kan ook zelf functies toewijzen. Het meegeleverde beschrijfbare sjabloon is briljant in zijn eenvoud, je kan gewoon op je pedaal schrijven wat welk knopje doet. Ook zijn er combinaties van knoppen mogelijk, ik vermoed dat de mogelijkheden nog uitgebreidt worden. Je kan er nog 2 expressie pedalen op aansluiten voor volume en wah. Voor deze prijs of een tientje meer had die er best standaard op mogen zitten.
Nadeel is dat ik elke keer weer moet koppelen met de Spark2 als ik hem aan zet.

The Spark Control X is the perfect companion for the Spark 40, Spark MINI, and Spark GO — and it absolutely lives up to the hype. Positive Grid has created a smart, rugged, and incredibly useful foot controller that brings real-time control and flexibility to your Spark setup like never before.
The build quality is top-notch — solid metal chassis, responsive footswitches, and a sleek, road-ready design. It feels like pro gear. Setup is quick and easy via Bluetooth, and the Spark app integration is smooth and intuitive.
With six fully programmable switches, the Control X lets you switch presets, toggle effects, start/stop backing tracks, and even control Smart Jam features — all without taking your hands off the guitar. The expression pedal inputs are a killer addition for wah or volume control, making this a truly gig-worthy rig.
Latency is virtually nonexistent, and the responsiveness is excellent. Whether you're practicing, recording, or playing live, it keeps up flawlessly.
🎸 Verdict: The Spark Control X unlocks the full potential of the Spark ecosystem. If you own a Spark amp, this is a must-have upgrade. Effortless control, pro-level build, and total creative freedom. 5 stars, hands down.

Bought the spark Control X along with a positive grid spark 2 amp. The footswitch seems very sturdy and well built. Wireless so no more annoying cables spread across the floor. Found it easy to connect to the positive grid spark 2, and no latency when selecting effects. So light and easy to move yet solid when on the floor and does not slide when you press a switch with your foot. I have my footswitch set on Profile 2 at the moment and have not had to change it, but you can easily select any of 8 different footswitch profiles and you can customize it to suit your needs. Also has 2 inputs on the back for expression pedals, but i have not used these yet.
All in all i am very happy with it and it does everything that i need. Great.

Works great when it has power and is paired. I love that it fits in my gig bag and that it doesn't require a cable to connect to the amp.

However I have to pair it each time with my Spark 2. On more than one occasion it repeatedly failed to pair until I reset both the X Control and the Spark 2. Although it has never run out of power on me while using it, the battery life is nowhere near 150 hours.
